Yet again, we are pleased to announce more developments on Yo! Payments.  Yo! Payments is a living platform and we're constantly thinking about new ways of making the system more and more useful to you.  Following are some of the latest developments:

* WAP Site. You can now conveniently and securely access your account using your mobile phone browser. Just go to the website http://m.yo.co.ug/ on your mobile phone browser!  (Note: Requires mobile Internet e.g 3G)

* USSD Portal. As an alternative to WAP, USSD enables you to access your account from your mobile phone without the need for Mobile Internet.  To test this very convenient facility, dial *130*14# on your MTN Uganda phone.  Note:  *130*14# is a temporary test code, currently only available on MTN Uganda.  The new, official, code will be communicated as soon as activated.

* Convenient Bulk Payments. Our new Bulk Payments facility enables you to conveniently pay multiple people from your account by simply uploading a file with a list of the people to pay. This convenient facility comes with the usual security features you have come to expect from Yo! Payments, such as: authorization by multiple people, access control and audit trails.

* Added Security. You now have full control over which automated operations can be performed on your account through the API.  To review this, go to the "Security" tab and click "API Access Control"

* New API Operations. Good news for developers! From "non-blocking" operations to accessing mini statements programmatically, this release is filled with developer goodies.  To see what's new, get a copy of the latest API document (version 2.0) from https://payments.yo.co.ug/index.php/developers

* Sandbox Server. More Good news for developers!  The Sandbox server has been updated to enable you to test specific types of responses to your API operations, such as error conditions.  Detailed information is available in the latest API document (version 2.0).

If you think there's something we can do to make Yo! Payments better, we would love to hear from you.  Do not hesitate to drop us a note at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it !
